Chapter 272 You have a familiar scent
In the second time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, it is only separated from Guiliyuan by a bridge, under a huge ancient tree thousands of meters high.
At the bridgehead of Wangshu Inn, Ye Li confirmed his identity and the safety of the goods with the Qianyan Army stationed nearby, then came to Yaoyao and Grandma Ping who had been waiting in front of the inn for a long time, and said with a helpless tone:
"The Qianyan Army has been collecting information from various sources these days. I guess they are investigating our affairs. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yaoyao and grandma should keep the matter to themselves.
But if I really want to say it, I have to put it aside until the storm has passed."
Ye Li explained the reasons why the Qianyan Army conducted serious inspections and interrogations, and reminded Yaoyao, who was the most likely to tell things out inadvertently among the three of them, and that Ye Li didn't need to worry about Grandma Ping.
After all, he is an immortal who has lived for thousands of years. He has had dealings with Gui Zhong in his time and space or in his current time and space. This matter of keeping it secret and even personally assisting him will naturally not be spread by Grandma Ping.
When Yaoyao heard Ye Li's reminder, her light brown eyes flashed with a playful expression, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved. She pretended to understand, but actually said with a little surprise:
"Yaoyao, remember this. When the storm has passed, I'll talk to Senior Sister about my brother's heroic deeds."
"Ah, if that senior sister you mentioned knew about this, I'm afraid I'd be targeted by the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. After all, the news that I killed the Qiuqiu Rock Helmet King with one sword is enough for him to come and see me in person to confirm the authenticity."
"Isn't that great? I remember that Brother Xingqiu also likes to travel the world with a sword, doing justice, and slaying demons. Brother Yeli and Brother Xingqiu must have common topics."
"I think it's better to keep a low profile. After all, I've shown my face to the people from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I'll be arrested sooner or later, but I'd better do it as late as possible. After all, I haven't even found a stable job yet."
The corners of Ye Li's mouth twitched twice. Although he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the character of Xingqiu, the chivalrous teacher who even wrote books, he still knew a lot about the general situation.
Although the news that he could fight against the Rockhelm King with his mortal body and even killed him with one sword was shocking, it was still a bit exaggerated.
But apart from the information that he defeated the Hillock Rock Helmet King, he single-handedly eliminated nearly 50 Hillocks and the same number of treasure-stealing group members without relying on the Eye of God, although there is still some water in it.
But if Ye Li didn't slack off and worked hard, he could also accomplish all of the above things with the strength of a mortal, but it would take more time and the means and methods would be more complicated.
Just as Ye Li and Yao Yao were discussing how to be tactful and low-key, and even not reveal their identities, a Wangshu Inn owner wearing Liyue clothing, with dark brown eyes, a beautiful face, and long brown-gold hair came up to the three of them and said politely:
"Hello everyone, I'm Phil Godette, the owner of Wangshu Inn, you can just call me Phil. The rooms you have reserved are ready, please follow me."
Ye Li and Yao Yao stopped talking, and Grandma Ping just nodded with a smile, looked at Filgodette and said:
"Thank you for leading the way, Miss Phil."
"You're too polite, grandma. It's hard for you to take care of two children by yourself. My little favor is not worth mentioning."
Philgodette politely answered Grandma Ping's questions, looked at Grandma Ping in front of him who seemed like a fairy, with a hint of nostalgia flashing in her deep brown eyes, and led the three of them into the elevator.
As the wide elevator rose, Yaoyao curiously leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery below. Ye Li stood next to Yaoyao, paying attention to her safety, while Grandma Ping chatted with Philgodette about some things in the past.
Time passed slowly, and in less than two minutes, Philgodette and the other three came out of the elevator and arrived at the middle trunk of the giant tree of Wangshu Inn, and went towards the rows of room corridors on both sides of the tree.
Arriving at the booked room, Ye Li opened the door with some curiosity on his face. Looking at the various decorations in the room, he couldn't help but sigh:
"It is worthy of being the largest inn in all of Liyue. In terms of environment, it beats all other roadside inns. Of course, the price is also the most expensive."
Listening to Ye Li's very objective but somewhat painful words, Philgodette, the innkeeper, just smiled and did not comment.
After a while, Ye Li came out of the room after touring it. When he opened the door, he ran into Yaoyao who was looking at him happily. He said confidently:
"Brother Yeli, this is your first time at Wangshu Inn. Do you need Yaoyao to take you around and familiarize you with the environment? And how about telling you some of the legends here?"
"Since Yaoyao said so, then lead the way. I also want to see what interesting things are on this thousand-meter-high giant tree."
Ye Li agreed very readily. After all, the size of Wangshu Inn in the game was a thousand times smaller than here. Ye Li was also very curious about what interesting things this change would bring him.
Yaoyao had been to Wangshu Inn several times and was quite familiar with the environment here, but the scenery she saw from the elevator gave her different feelings every time. The guest rooms were not much different from the rooms in her hometown, except that her grandmother didn't let her touch some things.
Stepping onto the stairs of Wangshu Inn, Ye Li listened quietly to Yaoyao's understanding and information about Wangshu Inn. He also knew very well what Grandma Ping didn't allow Yaoyao to touch.
After all, this is an inn, and the exercise equipment needed by adults is indispensable. After all, if there are no such equipment, how can we do business and obtain information for Lord Ningguang? These are the secret jobs of Shopkeeper Jun'an and Landlady Philgodette.
Following Yaoyao to the observation platform at the top of Wangshu Inn, Ye Li looked at the lake and mountains that were in full view, then looked at the sky that was gradually darkening. The stars were already hanging in the sky, and it would not be long before the bright moon would rise.
"How is it, Brother Yeli, the scenery here is pretty good, isn't it? Yaoyao never gets tired of looking at it every time."
"It is indeed very beautiful. This peaceful scenery makes people feel at ease even if it is washed away by the long river of time."
"Brother Yeli said something that Yaoyao couldn't understand again."
"Yaoyao will understand in the future. You just need to follow your own choices and actions."
Ye Li had a calm smile on his face, and then asked:
"By the way, Yaoyao, where's grandma? I didn't see her the whole way with you."
"The master and the boss lady had something to deal with. Yaoyao was so immersed in what she said before that she forgot about it. Brother, I hope you won't blame Yaoyao wrongly."
"It's okay, Yaoyao is a good child, brother won't care about this little thing."
Just as Ye Li was comforting Yaoyao, a horrifying aura of blood and karma suddenly appeared from the roof of the tiled house above the lookout tower, just above Ye Li and Yaoyao.
The terrifying aura and murderous intent instantly enveloped Yaoyao's whole body. The extremely crazy and cold hell seemed to be trapping Yaoyao into the abyss, but this feeling disappeared the moment Yaoyao felt it.
Yaoyao's pupil contraction and the feeling of difficulty breathing disappeared. She looked at Ye Li, who was standing in front of her with his back to her but with a serious expression. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and her inner uneasiness subsided.
Ye Li looked seriously at the familiar short figure above him who was wearing a mask and covering his forehead. The talisman paper in his hand was already ready to go. As long as the other party dared to move, the talisman paper would immediately remove a small part of the other party's karma and make him fall into a coma.
Xiao came to the upper part of the inn in a trance, the karma and madness in his body constantly washed over his spirit. This familiar and painful feeling made his eyes look at the two people in front of him like sharp blades.
When he saw the face that was 80% similar to the Demon God of Dust and the golden light in the gray-blue eyes, Xiao's karma that was originally difficult to suppress suddenly subsided. He was stunned when he felt the familiar yet different aura.
……
Below the Wangshu Inn, on the open-air dining platform, Ye Li cleared the memories from his mind and looked at Xiao who was staring at him. He knew what was going on, but he said with a doubtful tone:
"Hey bro, is there something on my face? It keeps staring at me."
"You have a familiar aura. I must observe you."
Xiao spoke crisply and clearly, and the straightforward words made Ye Li's mouth twitch twice, while Yaoyao and Grandma Ping beside him were smiling with different expressions, as if this scene was very interesting to them.
